I think this guy's spoilers report shows us that not many people turn in results to any of the wrestling websites. I have to believe that this was the best of the reports that were sent in (which is scary by the way I'll grant you).

In fact, stuff like this reinforces in my mind that the "smark" percentage of an audience to any given wrestling event really is small.

If my memory serves me right, during the fall of '99 Scaia on Wrestleline got burned on spoilers for a SD (maybe that's why Sportsline's stock went in the crapper) in which the person stated that either Stasiak or a just debuting Angle won the Euro Title, plus a bunch of other stuff that was completely wrong.

Scotsman use to do that awhile ago (Scotsman vs. net reporters)He had a nice recap of the feud up on his site but for some reason its down right now so I can't give you the exact link. Click Here is the general link to his site.

Oh man, I remember Mikey G!! He was going on and on in one of his reports about being "spotted" at a live show (How does a net writer get spotted anyway?) and had all these people asking for autographs and taking pictures.

YEAH RIGHT.

He obviously left out the part about almost getting JUMPED.

Come to think of it, I wonder how Scots got ahold of Mikey's seat number in the first place?? Hmmm...

I remember, during the Corporate Ministry angle, back when they were alternating live RAWs and taped RAWs, someone wrote up some fantastic fake taping results that ended with Jake Roberts being revealed as the Higher Power. The entire week, it was a major controversy over which set of spoilers were real.

In one of his news updates, he started going on about how HE! WAS! GOING! TO! A! LIVE! RAW!. Every news update for a week. He was so excited. Then on the Monday early news update(IT! WAS! EARLY! BECAUSE! HE! WAS! GOING! TO! RAW!!!!), he posted his seat number, and invited anyone to come along and chat. I believe he even offered to give people autographs.

Thanks for the link. Good Lord, Scotman's accounts of his feuds are some of the funniest things I have ever read, especially that whole Jay Bower saga. I'd think if he put all this together he'd have himself a great book, although I suppose the audience for internet wrestling feuds may be limited. Does he still do any wrestling related stuff at any of the major sites?

Yes....I do. I haven't done too much since New Years on 411.....but one thing you might want to check out is my Scott Keith: Smackdown Diary. The full thing will be up on 411 on 030303, but I've been doing small parts of it for my site. Here's a link to them. Part 1, 2 & 3 are all linked there.

I just like to take breaks on occasion from writing, which I'm doing at the moment, to recharge my batteries(And Scott Keith jokes).
